The Post’s Steve Serby sat down with the Ohio State 19-year-old man-child who was selected first by the Trail Blazers in last night’s NBA Draft:

Q: You’ve been compared to David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Bill Russell . . . how do you see yourself?

A: A mix between Duncan and Amare Stoudemire, but Stoudemire’s starting to get a jumpshot, so you can just go with him.

Q: Can you make an immediate impact?

A: One thing David Robinson said: “You know it’s gonna take time, so don’t put so much pressure on yourself.”

Q: What did Patrick Ewing tell you?

A: A lot about his game and how he came from Jamaica. How he helped out his family, and how he tried to turn his game from just being a big man to where he can dribble, shoot and move like guards.

Q: You’d like to do the same?

A: I’m not that skilled (chuckles). I might make a crossover, it’s going out of bounds! I’m working on that.

Q: What did Bill Russell tell you about handling your rookie year?

A: Every time you’re in the gym, learn something new. He said there were times when he was in the gym at one in the morning with his coach after practice.

Q: What’s it like sharing a Topps card with Bill Russell?

A: This is how I put it: 10 fingers, 11 rings. You can’t get better than 11 championships, nobody’s done better. When you start having toe rings, then you accomplished something.

Q: What’s it going to be like when you go against Shaq the first time?

A: I’m gonna lift every day (chuckles) a week before. It’s one of those like you would be star struck, but it’s a job, and he’s gonna be coming at me. This is my job to go at him to help my team win. So, I mean, if he dunks on me 18 times and we win . . . that’s what it’s all about – winning.

Q: Has it been hard to be a regular person?

A: No. I’m gonna be me. I’m gonna go out, have fun. I’m just gonna be who I am, who God made me, what my mom taught me to be.

Q: Your parents divorced when you were nine. How did that affect you?

A: It was really difficult. Me and my brother used to love when my dad walked in with a pizza. We used to watch Nickelodeon every Saturday night. That was like the greatest time ever. But when they divorced, we would commute back and forth to each other’s house. Then my mom moved to Terre Haute (from Buffalo) and we went with her and we got to come back three times a year . . . if that.

A: Me and him had plans wherever we went. We were gonna live on a golf course, he was gonna teach me how to golf this summer. He was my best friend since fourth grade. I still worry about his family, because I know they’re having a real tough time.

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, what grade would you give yourself at dancing?

A: 15. That’s what I do . . . I Bust-A-Move! Old-school style too, like I’ll bust a Robot out in a second.

Q: Are you a ladies man?

A: Um, not really. But I want to be (laughs). Like I would love to be a ladies man, but it’s like . . . uh, you’re seven-feet tall, and you need to shave! So I shaved.

Q: You once wanted to be a dentist. Would you have been a good one?

A: Yeah . . . if I didn’t scare the kids away I think I would have been great (smiles).

Q: You have a sweet tooth that gave you 11 cavities. What kind of candy were you eating?

A: Gushers and Zebra Cakes. I had a packet before I went to sleep every night. Every night.

Q: Looking forward to your first game at Madison Square Garden?

A: As long as I’m not Reggie Miller, I’m all good. I’m ready.

Q: Describe Portland.

A: Beautiful when the sun’s out. A lot of trees. And no humidity. I love that.

Q: You looked spiffy on the cover of ESPN The Magazine.

A: That’s my Dwyane Wade lookalike (smiles).

Q: Who’s older looking, you or LeBron?

A: Me. I’m taller, my beard’s scruffier.

Q: Most embarrassing moment?

A: I only got dunked on one time this year, against Michigan, against (Brent) Petway. He got me, caught me slipping at the end of the game.

Q: Best piece of advice from your mother?

A: It’s just a game. Just go out there and make sure you’re having fun, but realize it’s not life or death. It’s just a game.

Q: Favorite childhood memory?

A: Being in Buffalo. I did nothing but go over my cousin’s house and go outside and play like every day, from sunup to sundown, just outside playing football across the street. That’s something I miss.

Q: Playing football in the snow?

A: (Chuckles) Yeah, that too.

Q: Any thoughts about what you’ll do with all the money?

A: Go see “Transformers” next week (smiles).

Q: One person on a deserted island?

A: Rihanna.

Q: Your brother Anthony will be a high school senior who plays basketball and football.

A: He’s huge (6-7, 260). He looks like he’s in the NFL right now. We were trying to get a whole bunch of people to sit him down and just go, “Look, man, you really need to play football.”

Q: What position does he play?

A: Tight end, defensive end.

Q: 2008 Olympics?

A: I would be honored.

Q: Three dinner guests?

A: Dane Cook, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie.

Q: If I were president I would . . .

A: Listen to my senators (smiles).

Q: Favorite actor?

A: Will Smith.

Q: Favorite actress?

A: Halle Berry, Hilary Swank, Angelina Jolie.

Q: Favorite entertainer?

A: Justin Timberlake.

Q: You haven’t put that in your blog yet.

A: ‘Cause I started to blog after they kicked me out of the Justin Timberlake concert at Ohio State. I was too big. Couldn’t fit.

Q: Are you serious?

A: No, no (laughs). Actually, I thought I could get in ’cause they performed at the arena that we play in, so I just showed up and they were like, “Ahhh, no.”
